'Will be forced to remove him': BJP warns workers on post-poll violence

New Delhi: A day after the Bharatiya Janata Party’s historic victory in the West Bengal Assembly elections, state party president Samik Bhattacharya on Tuesday urged the administration to take strict action against those indulging in post-poll violence.Speaking to reporters, Bhattacharya warned that BJP workers found involved in such activities would be expelled from the party.“Post-poll violence will not be tolerated in any form. If anyone from our party is found involved in it, we will be forced to remove them,” he said.He said, “I would like to urge the administration to take necessary action wherever such incidents occur. This is why the people of West Bengal have elected the BJP.”He also accused TMC workers of attacking their own candidates.He said, “Two hours after the results, a TMC candidate called Dilip Ghosh asking him to come to his rescue. Dilip Ghosh asked him for his address, to which he said he was in the party office. He told the candidate that they were with him during the elections.”He said, “The candidate said that they are TMC people but now they are coming to beat him. This was bound to happen. TMC is not a political party.”Meanwhile, news agency PTI reported that a high-level meeting was held at the BJP’s Bidhannagar office to discuss measures to prevent violence and maintain law and order in the post-result scenario, which was attended by central observers and senior state leaders.The discussion also focused on ensuring that there is no repeat of the violence reported after the 2021 assembly elections, when the BJP accused the ruling Trinamool Congress of targeting its workers.The BJP has secured 207 of the 293 seats that went to polls, securing a two-thirds majority and paving the way for its first government in West Bengal. Trinamool Congress has won 80 seats.
